Letters From The People.
From BENNINGTON COUNTY.
What the People Want

Is truly musical stops not mechani-
cal ones. The Burlington Free Press
and the Montpelier News having
both referred to stops, it may be well
to enliehten certain ones on the sub
ject of stop action. Now the Organ
of State has been having too many
mechanical stops and it is time that
we have some real musical stops.
When the News spe ks of the Estey
stop, ON Levi, it but gives to the
State what the Grand Forte is, COM
pared to the simple Forte it has al
ready had. You may pull either one
and the feeders be worked with dill
gence, the wind bellows filed to its
fullest capacity and all you will get
will be a whisk of wind through the
safety valve. This seems the kind
of noise some call music. Well, ed
ucated people, and they who have
appreciation for real music cannot
long be fed on sham stops, and as
the ball is open lets see what might
be a good stop to draw; one that is
musical. The Sub Bass would be
working stop familiar to the peo-
pie and one that has not to be tuned
or corrected-a mighty good stop
when coupled with a combination of
it's equals in the upper register. With
this Sub Bass stop you might Hook
en- on with the pleasant and ever
pleasing Melodia and Diapason, the
masses would all like that combine
ton, or you might couple the Viola
and Flute, it would Harris the ears
of some few for a time, but then one
soon becomes accustomed to a com
bination you know. Valentines day
is past. Bennington county gotnoth-
ing last year, it don't want anything
next year, especially if it must take
it in Valentines. What we want is
good speaking, musical stops in the
Organ, and the people, when they
studv the combinations of the State
Organ, will not vote for Mechanical
Stops.

THE Old HOMESTEAD,
ny u, II, ALnEn,
Yes, Mary, that's the old Homestead where our
married HE began,
Before our young hearts ghdncsl was touched
by sorrows hand;
oh, those were happy days, Mary, an lives from
care were free,
For never rude and buiietlng hrte1e had ruff,
ned llfe's calm sea,
A child eushrned in love was born, the iairest,
to Us, on earth,
soon she was torn from our loving arms, and
given Immortal birth.
Twas here the little conin stood, u ,arl was an
ample pail
With hearts that blcd we bowed our leads before
the God of all
Another and another came hut soon went back
to heaven,
Your face grew pale and your hair turned gray
as stroke by stroke was given.
oh, Mary, the many memories that Ger me ebb
aud How,
Makes blind my eyes with gathering tears, my
heart beats fast and slow
Mary, now we're aged our locks are tmged with
gray,
We eagerly look to the heavenly scenes bright,
ening every day.
Our grieis are all behind us, our JOYS are all be-
fore,
Wen walk our way in patience Tia opens the
golden door
The door of the eternal homestead which waits
beyond the years,
Where white robed heavenly cherum will calm
our anxious fears, =.
And Jennie, and John and Willie, and bright
eyed little Kate,
win meet and give us welcome whm we reach
the pearly gate.

Discomfort.
BY REBECCA G.. HOLDEN.

How often we sigh, after youth is past,
And life brings more thorns than rosies,
"If had only known then what | know
now,
Chat which stern Experience discloses)
The mistakes of my life would have been
so few,
That the years would yield less of sorrow
And my heart would rest in that calm
content,
That old age from youth could borrow
Yet, doubt, could our youth be restored
again,
With its pleasures and hopes so alluring,
If schoolmaster Experience, with his
lessons so wise,
Would make us more hecdful. so sure of
securing
Content in old age; or freedom from care
SO let's be done with this useless com
planning,
And do what we can to make life a sue
With the strength and the years still re-
naming.
